Howard Visits Canada

The Australian Press: CANADA PROTEST GREETS HOWARD Howard visits Canada amid Afghanistan row PM hailed conservative 'elder statesman' The real meaning of the visit was given good indepth analysis in the media about the common agenda both Howard and Harper share regardless of the names of their political parties. Howard leads the Australian Liberal Party and Harper of course the Conservatives. But Howards Liberals are like those in B.C. and Quebec provincial politics, conservative. The real significance of the this meeting was around Kyoto and the environment, in particular in the development and promotion of greater use of nuclear energy as Australia and Canada are the largest sources of uranium in the world. What is often overlooked is that Australia and Canada share alot in common, not only as commonwealth countries, but in joint intelligence operations, such as Echelon, etc. A cozier relationship with Australia, a Free Trade Agreement with them, and access to the Asian Pacific region which was already underway with our involvement in APEC is a strategy that is win win for these two conservative governments. Australia would gain access to the US market via Canada and Canada would gain access to Asia via Australia. The fact we are both the largest resource miners in the world, share a common agricultural base, and are syncophantic partners in Empire, whether it was the Brits or Americans, will lead to a new economic and political partnership as was signaled by Howard with his visit here. Should environmentalists and unions be worried. You bet. We all should be. Australia was the model for the Klein revolution in Alberta. Now that same Calgary gang rules in Ottawa. http://plawiuk.blogspot.com/2006/05/howard-visits-canada.html
